The Juice Bar?: Is Bar

Learn how to effectively use the Juice Bar in Disgaea 6 Complete to boost your characters' stats, class proficiency, and weapon mastery. Get tips on farming Stored EXP, Mana, and Extracts.

Alright, let’s talk about the Juice Bar in Disgaea 6 Complete! Think of it as your personal gym and training facility for your entire squad. When you first chat with the Succubus there and choose to 'Make a Drink,' you’ll get to pick a character you want to buff up. After that, it’s decision time: what do you want to improve?

You’ve got three main options:

• Status: This is where you can boost your character’s core stats like Level, Mana, or even specific attributes. To level up, you’ll need Stored EXP. For Mana, it’s Stored Mana. And for those other stats, you’ll need Extracts. Just remember, all these boosts come with an HL cost, so keep an eye on your wallet!
• Class Proficiency: Want to unlock new Classes or snag more Evilities? This is your go-to. Increasing Class Proficiency here is way faster than grinding it out in battle, especially once you hit the endgame. You’ll need Stored EXP and HL for this one.
• Weapon Mastery: In Disgaea 6, Weapon Mastery doesn’t unlock fancy skills like in past games. Instead, it directly boosts the stats you get from the weapon type you have equipped. While you can earn it through regular combat, the Juice Bar makes it much more efficient.

How to Get Stored EXP and Mana

Before you can start boosting, you need the right resources. Here’s how you rack up Stored EXP and Mana:

• Stored EXP:
  • Stage Clear Bonuses: A portion of the EXP you earn after clearing a stage gets added to your Juice Bar stash. Look for 'Juice Bar EXP Stock' on the results screen.
  • Excess EXP Gain: If a character has already hit the level cap, any extra EXP they earn still gets sent to the Juice Bar.
  • Super Reincarnation Carry-Over: When you use the Super Reincarnation feature, some of that EXP is also stored.
• Stored Mana: This one’s simpler – it mainly comes from Stage Clear Bonuses, just like the first Stored EXP method.

Farming Extracts: The Secret Sauce

Extracts are crucial for boosting individual stats at the Juice Bar, and each stat has its own Extract. Here’s the lowdown on how to get them:

• Defeating Enemies: This is the most straightforward way, but honestly, it’s not super effective until you’re deep into the endgame and facing enemies with massive stats.
• Defeating Your Own Characters: Here’s a neat trick! Once your characters have ridiculously high stats, defeating them can yield a good amount of Extracts.
• D-Merits: This is probably your best bet for a steady supply of Extracts, especially earlier on. Some D-Merit rewards give you a hefty chunk of them.

So, get in there, start making those drinks, and power up your team!
